Sheila Jackson Lee said "I thank the gentleman from New York. I am so glad he said the words ``by any means necessary.'' That is striking, and without a doubt, the approach of the activist Supreme Court, right-wing, of the big lies, and of those who wish to stall and stop the very lifeline of American democracy, and that is the right of each person to vote their conscious. As we have said: Our message, our power; but our voice, our vote; our vote, our voice. And I thank him for joining me this evening for elaborating and detailing and roll-calling where we are today. I notice the gentleman did not step in the breach and indicate that we might need to expand the Court. That is another discussion altogether. Madam Speaker, I am delighted to yield to the distinguished gentlewoman from Missouri (Ms. Bush), a member of the Judiciary Committee. I think she can speak in her own way on the vitality of a vote for poor people." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
